Multilobar massive cavitating adenocarcinoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe diagnostic evaluation of complex cavitary lung lesions is often challenging owing to the broad spectrum of differential diagnoses. These lesions can be associated with various conditions, making it crucial to employ comprehensive diagnostic strategies. This case underscores the significance of serial imaging, close clinical follow-up, and surgical biopsy in managing such complex cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old woman of Indian descent was referred for the management of pneumonia. Initial chest computed tomography showed patchy inflammatory changes in the right upper lobe, a large cavity in the left upper lobe, and a smaller cavity in the left lower lobe. Follow-up imaging indicated progressive cavitary disease. Bronchoscopies did not yield significant findings. A video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery biopsy was performed, which confirmed mucinous adenocarcinoma.
conclusionThis case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by cavitary lung lesions and emphasizes the importance of serial imaging, vigilant clinical monitoring, and surgical biopsy in achieving an accurate diagnosis. Early and systematic investigation is key to identifying rare causes such as mucinous adenocarcinoma.
